Frugal Flavors: Cooking Techniques

Many different cooking techniques add their own unique flavors to the dish you’re preparing.

Fork tender, braised pot roasts with gravy, juicy roasted turkey at Thanksgiving, burgers and brats cooked on a grill in the height of summertime all have one thing in common: how they are cooked adds a lot to their flavor. Even just one extra step such as toasting the rice in butter or oil can take ho hum to yum.
